    I cannot praise enough Sam Kiszka's organ playing. While he is typically playing bass guitar, he demonstrates a mastery of the Hammond Organ, including the use of the bass pedals, that unparalleled by most modern musicians. As a former organist, I can tell you that playing pedals in addition to the two manuals adds a level of difficulty that most musicians will never experience. Phenomenal!

      I was a teen in the '70's (still the best decade, ahem) and was heavily into Heavy/Prog Rock. Only recently (last decade or so) have started to listen to newer, different stuff. Discovered Nightwish just before Tarja was fired, love me some Taylor and that's both of them ! Momsen and Swift. Have really diversified in my dotage. Loving The Pretty Reckless, definitely a self declared Swiftie and I love Gabrielle Aplin too.

      To be frank, they USED TO be a copy of LZ on their first EPs, but on both of their LPs they sound way more authentic and show a much wider range of influences while adding a lot of their own style and charm.

    I am 71 years old and my 26 year old son introduced me to this band. They are amazing. As far as male singers go, I am a huge fan of Jimmy Barnes, John Farnham, Brad Delp etc, but I'd rather listen to Josh Kiszka than anyone else. The guy is just outstanding. Thank you Michigan for producing this incredible band.

    These guys are awesome. It's always a shame people have shut the door on them after hearing their earlier tunes. These guys are growing up and becoming more experienced. I feel they deserve a lot more credit than a "zepp" rip off. All popular music is a rip off or evolution of someone else. These guys were in the light as they were finding themselves. Now that they have, I don't even think of the zeppelin bits anymore. Its Greta bits now.

      @DompStomp Excellently said! What the haters fail to acknowledge is that "Black Smoke Rising" and "From the Fires" contained songs that were likely written (or at least in the oven) when these guys were not even 20 years old. It takes time to grow into your musicianship and especially song writing. I really hate the internet sometimes due to the keyboard warriors spewing their venom. I for one cannot wait to see these guys coming into their own! I have my vinyl of Starcatcher pre-ordered and can't wait to have a Yuengling (or 6😛) and put on the headphones and drift away!🤘

    Uriah Heep vocalist David Byron was one of the greatest voices hard rock ever had that died too soon at the age of 38 back in 1985 due to alcoholism . I hope others request a reaction to David Byron, Elizabeth needs to hear and experience him.

      Uriah heeps wizards and demons hold two of my favourite songs by the band easy livin and traveller in time.
      Found the band by complete accident after binge listening to W.A.S.P. They did a cover of easy livin and that opened the door to Uriah heep!!!
      Happy listening brother!!!

    Hi sunshine. I am so happy you are doing Greta Van Fleet. I have been a fan of theirs since the beginning. They are from Frankenmuth in mid-Michigan. I live just south of them. I saw them locally when they only had like 7 songs and when they finally went to Detroit they were told, Go home write more songs and we'll see. I had to laugh when you thought they were girls. The name came from an older lady that lives in the same town. Keep Listening. I love love love what you do. Your reactions are just so wonderful and I enjoy them so very much. YOu are wonderful. I found you when you were doing Led Zeppelin songs. That is MY band. I will be 70 this year and I was there when LZ came out. They stopped me in my tracks. I thought, Who is that, and What is that I hear. For me, I think LZ changed Music history. Even today they are still influencing bands and music. everywhere. I feel I grew up in the greatest time of music history. And to think that the 3 greatest guitarists came from the same band. The Yardbirds. And No, I have not forgotten Randy Roads. I still cry when I think of him and what he would have done if he had lived a longer life. Thank you again for what you do. If I may, I love you. I've been a music nut all my life. I even listened to Opera when I was in junior high school. I was hungry for music of all kinds. But R&R is my life. I hope you never stop. Me, I still listen to LZ every day of my life. I can not get enough of them. And I just adore your critics of music. Oh, and the singer for GVF, him and his brother guitar player are twins, and the bass player is a brother too, Younger. He said, He never knew he could sing. And the way he found out was, they asked who is the loudest, and he won. Said he had to sing loud to be heard over the band. lol Good ole, Gibson SG's and a Fender Twin Reverb, and a stack of 12-inch speakers. lol

They we're handing out roses to people all through the show and had incense burning with the subtle smell of weed from the crowd. I said to my girlfriend it's like what I'd imagine a scene from the 60's would be like. Great band and great live. I'd highly recommend Black smoke rising and Broken bells. Any more from them really, only as I want you to have more GVF in your playlist other than two! Great video Elizabeth, really enjoyed it!

I think he & his bandmates follow this advice. I think they are incredible & I get irritated when I hear people comparing them to other bands. If you do a deep dive, you will find that these guys are genuinely "their own" band. If they have a similar sound, it is completely unintentional.

    This was recorded during covid lockdown, they were working stuff out a bit. You should hear them now that they've been on tour for two years now (coming to a close tonight). They're a well oiled machine now. The yodeling is a regular feature of Josh's singing, and he's often what I call "fangs out" when he needs to do so, no fear whatsoever. And he does this every. Single. Night. He's absolutely stunning to watch. Listen to him not come up for air in The Weight Of Dreams lol There's Broken Bells (candlelight sessions), Built By Nations, Safari Song, Age Of Man, Flower Power, Lover Leaver Taker Believer (NOT just Lover Leaver, there's a difference. Find the studio version, live is never under 20 minutes) Edge Of Darkness, Tears Of Rain, and like I've said before, vocally Age Of Machine is my favorite. The wail at the beginning is exquisite. Welcome to the Peaceful Army, we're happy to have you!

I just saw them live, and towards the end of the set list when they played "Weight of Dreams," I was floored that Josh didn't skimp on the long holds as the song crescendoed. After the whole concert, he still had gas in the tank.

    One more thing, holding down a bunch of keys on the lower section of a Hammond Organ is how you get the Hammond Growl - it sounds somewhat like a motorcycle revving. Check out the original Styx II recording of Lady and you will hear Dennis doing that Hammond growl that is missing from the live or remake. Jon Lord in Deep Purple did that regularly - it was very clear in Hush.

    They are a really unique and creative band. And Josh's voice is truly amazing. I can understand some of the comparison to Robert Plant and the band to Led Zepplin, but they're to distinctly different vocalist and bands with some similar qualities. I didn't realize that he was actually yodelling during the song. So cool! I'm glad you're really getting into them. I look forward to more of your deep dive into them.
